I agree 100%.....I would even argue that if you look long enough, you should find one for a ways less than $15K........Good luck on your hunt.

 

what about a 03 type s with 67k for 13,9 covered by tran warranty

 

The 03 for $13.9 sounds alot better with the warranty . . . I personally found a 03 Type s with 75k trans warranty and all for 11k

 

so i went and test drive the tl(for 13.9k) and after i put it in drive and rolled say 10ft, i pressed on the brake firmly. During which there was a loud grinding noise on the passenger side front wheel. Any i deads what this, also the outsides of all four tire treads are worn low?

 

Brakes need to be replaced so it sounds.

BTW, I bought my 2003 TL-S with 70K miles for 17K from a dealer. It has Navi though. It had the warranty up to 109K miles... It's at 116K now.

 

tell him 13.4 and replace both front rotors and calipers

 

Best case, the car was sitting for a while and the calipers and rotors need to "roll" some rust off. Worst case, the rotors and calipers need to be replaced - this is not a big deal, and something that you can do yourself if need be.

As another point of reference, I got an 03 TLS for $11K - 97,000 miles. All service work was done at the Acura dealer, and interior and exterior were in very good condition. Not a smokin deal, but not bad - I needed a car and was willing to pay a tad more; didn't have the time to scour for the perfect deal.

 

My friend picked one up with 43k for $9,000. Search around. Definitely don't get one that hasnt had the tranny swapped out. Mine is in the shop right now and they want $3700 for the tranny plus labor. I have 140k on mine and they only warranty up to 100k.

 

The worn outside tires are because the guy corners hard and has rotated the fronts to the back after they wore down.
